It makes sense that three of the Lipscomb volleyball team’s key players are from the “Show Me State.” After all, thus far this season, particularly in conference play, the Lady Bisons have been something to see.

Missouri natives Alex Kelly, Stefine Pease and Meghan Hinemeyer played club volleyball together for three years before they embarked on their respective college careers.

Kelly and Pease came to Lipscomb as freshmen and have played in integral role in the program’s steady rise, which now is in its seventh season under coach Brandon Rosenthal. Hinemeyer transferred from Clemson in the spring and immediately added a devil-may-care attitude as well as a devilish ability to attack.

Led by that trio, the Lady Bisons carry a 12-match win streak into Tuesday’s Atlantic Sun Conference showdown with Belmont. In 10 of those 12 victories, including each of the first eight, they won without dropping a set.
